A rare case of desmoplastic melanoma arising from the maxillary gingiva of a 66-year-old woman is reported. This tumour metastasised to the submandibular lymph node 5 years after extirpation, and local recurrence was observed 2 years later. The gingival tumour showed the histopathological characteristics of desmoplastic melanoma and the metastasised tumour cells were immunohistochemically positive for S-100 protein, neuron specific enolase, HMB-45 highly specific for conventional melanoma, and Fontana-Masson staining. The gingival tumour, originally regarded as benign clinically, was actually a desmoplastic melanoma.
